That shouldn’t be an issue these days. If you type “Clue Clux Clan” into Google, I’ll bet it knows exactly what you mean.

This same move is used by elected officials in their correspondence to shield themselves from FOIA requests. I have seen it when I get back a FOIA’d email and someone/something they are talking about will have a misspelling, when you then FOIA the misspelling you discover that it is intentional and there are entire conversation threads using the misspelling. And since I have seen it more than a few times, with names that people clearly know how to spell, I assume it is an intentional effort to deceive.
